Elvis Costello Spike Vinyl $3.00

Exercise In Swing Lester Young Giants of Jazz CD Italian import $2.00

Don Byas Melody In Swing Jazz Archives #141 French Import


m-audio studiophile av40...$10.00
they are stickered and graffiti marked but hopefully they will sound ok.



they sound pretty nice just running my mp3 player through them....

I think I will do what Whell suggested make a linux box server and use these speakers for the sound...I have the M-audio card already.

Ice, check and see if the Asus notebook you recently bought has SPDIF out. It's the same jack as the headphone out and will be marked SPDIF also.

Well it is my daughters notebook so I will check later on....tell me what will the spdif jack do with these speakers?

I have them connected to my Sony ES cd changer....
they sound pretty good...I think I have a good pair since the cabs have been through crap and these things still crank.

The SPDIF is a digital output that can be connected to an external DAC. Easier than a sound/desktop configuration.

So lossless from a laptop via spdif to these m-audio monitors would make a sweet system....thanks for the info.....I will see what connections I have.

Not a bad line considering MOG is going to Dre.
Spotify is the best alternative I've been told.

Lossless from notebook (laptop is so dated ) into a DAC first and then to your powered monitors will give you digital bliss. I use Foobar as music player, a very good shareware.

My Mac Pro 2.8 has a digital audio out....so a DAC with digital audio in should do he trick!
